FIDLAR

Note: All the links are down due to copyright issues, except for "Everything Else"

FIDLAR (an acronym for Fuck It Dog, Life's A Risk) are a four-piece punk band from Los Angeles, California that formed in 2009. They've made a name for themselves through loud guitars, cheap beer, cocaine, and a serious lack of fucks to give. Their mission statement seems to be a lack of one. Even after two full-lengths and a slew of other material, they're staying true to the Descendents' mantra "I don't want to grow up". Sonically, FIDLAR are more in the vein of bands such as Black Lips or Wavves, preferring to keep things loose and loud. It's dirty, grimy, Californian garage punk, there's not much else that needs to be said. FIDLAR are basically a celebration of late nights, bad decisions, shitty substances, nonstop parties and youthful cynicism. For a list of vices, they seem to be having a pretty good time with it. However, their most recent album deals more with getting over that, since their singer is now clean/sober, which makes for an nice change in subject matter and an interesting transition between the early and the new.

They've gotten a shit ton of requests lately, so this is for all of you. Everything Else isn't an actual compilation, it's just all the random songs, covers, etc. that I could find, and unfortunately don't have a whole lot of information on most of them. Regardless, there's plenty of stuff in there to enjoy, so please do.

A Stubborn Reminder...

Please remember, not everything on here is supposed to be free. Enjoy to your heart's content, but if you can, please try and support these bands by purchasing records, going to shows, buying merch, anything if at all possible. Most of them could really use (and deserve) it.
